Here are the explanations for all 8 basic concept questions in C++ in simple

language:

1. What is C++? How is it different from C?

 C++ is a general-purpose programming language developed by Bjarne


Stroustrup.
 It is an extension of C language with added features like Object-Oriented
Programming (OOP).
 C is procedural (focuses on functions), while C++ is both procedural and
object-oriented (focuses on objects and classes).

Example:

 C uses functions to perform tasks.


 C++ uses classes and objects to organize code better.

2. What are the key features of C++?

 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Supports classes, objects,


inheritance, polymorphism, etc.
 Simple & Fast: Based on C, so it's simple and fast.
 Rich Library: Has Standard Template Library (STL) for data structures
and algorithms.
 Platform Independent: Can run on different operating systems.
 Memory Management: Supports dynamic memory allocation using new
and delete.
 Multi-paradigm: Supports both procedural and object-oriented styles.

3. What is the difference between procedural and object-oriented


programming?

Procedural Programming Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


Follows step-by-step procedures
Focuses on objects and classes
(functions)
Example: C language Example: C++ language
More secure (encapsulation & data
Less secure (no data hiding)
hiding)
Code is harder to maintain for big
Easier to maintain using OOP concepts
projects

4. What are tokens in C++? Explain with examples.

 Tokens are the smallest elements in a C++ program.


 The compiler reads the code as a collection of tokens.

Types of Tokens:

1. Keywords: Reserved words (e.g., int, if, class)


2. Identifiers: Names of variables, functions, etc. (e.g., sum, age)
3. Literals: Fixed values (e.g., 10, 'A', 3.14)
4. Operators: Symbols that perform operations (e.g., +, -, *)
5. Punctuation/Special Symbols: (e.g., {}, ;, ())
6. Comments: Non-executable notes (// single line or /* multi-line */)

5. What are keywords, identifiers, constants, and literals in C++?


 Keywords: Predefined words with special meaning. (e.g., int, if, while)
 Identifiers: Names given to variables, functions, classes. (e.g., age, sum)
 Constants: Fixed values that can’t be changed during execution. (e.g.,
const int x = 5;)
 Literals: Actual values assigned to variables. (e.g., 10, 'A', true)

6. Explain the different data types in C++.

C++ has several data types to store different kinds of values:

1. Basic Data Types:


o int → stores integers (e.g., 5)
o float → stores decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14)
o double → stores bigger decimal numbers (e.g., 9.8765)
o char → stores a single character (e.g., 'A')
o bool → stores boolean values (true or false)
2. Derived Data Types:
o Array, Pointer, Function, Reference
3. User-Defined Data Types:
o Structure (struct), Class (class), Union (union)

7. What is type conversion? Explain implicit and explicit type


conversion.

Type Conversion means changing one data type into another.

1. Implicit Conversion (Automatic):


o Done by compiler without programmer's help.
o Happens when assigning smaller data types to larger ones.
2. int a = 10;
3. double b = a; // int is automatically converted to double
4. Explicit Conversion (Type Casting):
o Done manually by the programmer.
o Uses casting operators like (int), (float).
5. double x = 5.67;
6. int y = (int)x; // double is explicitly converted to int

8. What is the difference between type casting and type conversion?

Type Conversion Type Casting


Done automatically by Done manually by
compiler programmer
Also called implicit Also called explicit
conversion conversion
Safer and prevents data loss May lead to data loss

Example of Type Casting:

float num = 9.75;


int result = (int)num; // result = 9 (decimal part removed)
